ZERO GRAVITY 6 - I'd say its probably the best jam with I been to, contributing factors
-bboying -there with all the hip hop & bboying family (the ones that are in Syracuse, and the ones who came back for the Jam) -more experience -dope DJ's and music (DJ Forest Get'em Gump, DJ Shame, DJ Simple)- mad experience already -new venue filled with graffiti, linoleum on the floors (ton of cyphers), couches -new format - PROPS battle, similar to a skatepark for bboys -all the competition, all these crews coming up, doing their thing, amazing everyone in the house -interaction with all star bboys, learning on how to think, live, treat bboying. -Fresh ideas - SIGN MY SHOE!
Big thanks for Dean who organized it, bboys that came, bboys that I hung out with, the bboy family in Syracuse that always give support to each other and I'm blessed to be part of it.

After Party aka. the crazy eating fest that took place at Dinosaur BBQ restaurant
Kid David - eating and sharing knowledge, mad humble and he's dope
Bboy Naytron - still hungry? West coast!
Props battle - basically you use the furniture you see and do crazy moves with em (that includes bboys and poppers), Dizzy from Motion Disorderz won it. First judging experience, good thing it was easy to judge, and Dizzy's headspin on that wooden table was amazing.

Zero Gravity 5 is an event that is organized by my teachers Bboy Zion, Bboy Props, Bboy Tinman. Consists of 2 on 2 bboy competition, 1 on 1 bgirl competition, Popping competition. For most of my bboying days I've only heard of the event, but finally I get to be in it.
It was a great jam and the bboys there were amazing, all the better, makes me wanna train hard. Im glad that I reached my goal of winning at least one battle, video will be up later.
I got too meet some new bboys from all over the country and made a lot of friends there. Plus it was good to see the departed teachers again.
